Air quality is something that many of us take for granted. We have to breathe in the air, no matter what environment we are in, and not all of us care to think about it. But if you are one of those people who care about the environment and want a fresh breath of air every day, then this blog post is perfect for you! Let's discuss some hacks that will help improve your indoor air quality so that you can enjoy better health as well!

Invest in a specialty air filter
You can't always control the type of pollution that is outside, but you can make sure that your home has clean air by investing in a quality air filter, especially a UV or electrostatic filter that will purify the air to a higher quality than standard filters. This will cut down on toxins and allergens inside your home--particularly dust mites and pollen!

Avoid carpeting where possible
The carpet may look nice, but it traps dirt particles like nobody's business, which means more cleaning for you when guests come over or spill something! Plush carpets are not good at wicking away moisture so they turn into breeding grounds for mold spores and bacteria as well. Instead, invest in hardwood flooring in high traffic areas of the house to keep things cleaner day-to-day.

Don't use aerosol air fresheners or candles with heavy perfumes
While these may make your home smell good, they add a lot of toxins into the air you breathe.

Change your filters regularly
Most people know that they need to change their furnace or AC filters regularly, but few of us actually do. If you want to keep the air in your home as fresh as possible, make sure that you’re changing your filter at the end of each season.

We hope these hacks help improve not just indoor air quality, but also life overall. If you have any questions or want to learn more about indoor air quality hacks, then please don't hesitate to reach out!
